But in Metuchen, New Jersey, Bishop James Checchio said that the rule for meatless Fridays during Lent would be lifted, in light of the “many other sacrifices that we are suddenly experiencing.” Boston’s Cardinal Sean O’Malley took the same astonishing step.

I disagree, we people have more spine that these two Bishops.

In the not-so-good Bishops’ defense: If there isn’t going to be an Easter, why bother with Lent /s

I get the feeling that we’re living in C.S. Lewis’ Narnia under the White Witch: Always winter and never Christmas....or rephrased always Lent and never Pascha.
